Hi GarangMama, do u mean that for those on half-day programme there won't be enrichment programmes available?

Because most of the enrichment programmes are held only in the afternoons (after their naps), so those on half days will not be have these enrichment programmes.
Although you do have an option to have 'Extended Day Programme' for your kids to take part in these enrichment programmes, but when you add up the costs, you might as well put them in Full Day programme.
As far as I know, the cost difference between a FD and HD programme is between $150-$200 (after subsidies), so it's definitely more VFM to go for FD programme if you are keen on the enrichment programmes.
Recently Pat's is also offering 3 addtional 'modules' for their enrichment programme: IQ Maths (to be taught in Chinese), Swimming, and Music & Me (taught by qualified ex-Yamaha instructor), which is only offered to FD students at a subsidised cost. You might want to take these into consideration when deciding between FD and HD programme.
Hope these help.
Cheers!

Thank u sooo much for your reply.

Hi everyone who has been to pat's school or odyssey:
I heard these 2 are under the same management.
Anyway, i know about Pat's so i wanted to find out more about odyssey.
So I went to the one at wilkinson. I walked through the front gate and wondered beside the field for quiet sometime but no one bothered. when i wanted to enter one of the door, i was refused!
when asked why, an indian expat lady (introduced herself as the centre director) said i must call for appointment! so arrogant! Met one of the parents going in and she told me the school has HFMD...
I tried calling but no one answered.
Can anyone give me any feedback on the one at alexandra?

Hi Everybody


Need all feedback on Pat’s Schoolhouse at Halifax.

What do you think of the principal, Ms Ada Teo?

You can PM me too if you think it is too confidential to put in the forum

Hi GTGT,


What are the merits and demerits of the place? Do you find the curriculum and environment adequately enriching? Hope to find a loving environment where my baby can grow up to be a confident, vocal and enthusiastic learner.

Mummies, please share with me your views as well.

NB: Do PM me instead if you feel that the information that you would like to share is sensitive.

Thanks in advance!
